Product Description

Ludlow Dispenser T-Tak HD Double Coated Tissue Tape (Extended Liner) on Hand-Held Dispenser has a reinforced tissue-supported carrier for demanding permanent applications (which provides support without adding bulk). Each roll comes on a convenient hand-held dispenser. The liner on the tape can be easily removed because it has a non-adhesive or dry edge on each side of the tape (there is 1/8 inch of liner overhang on each side of the tape so a 1 inch wide roll would become 3/4 inch width of adhesive tape once the liner is removed). Dispenser T-Tak HD offers excellent adhesion and shear strength. Has aggressive rubber-based adhesive; great for heavier paper-to-paper attachments - even for curved or uneven surfaces. Tissue carrier is laminated to a siliconized paper release liner. The release liner is printed with the words "TO EXPOSE ADHESIVE REMOVE LINER" which makes it ideal when the tape is put on items being sent to end users.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).

natural rubber

Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.

acrylic

Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.

silicone

Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.

zinc oxide

Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

Thickness, AKA caliper or gauge, refers to the distance from one surface of a tape backing, or adhesive, to the other.
